Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

An easy and delicious soup. I used lardons for the meat. We were thinking that chicken sausages would be good, saucisse de volaille or merguez de volaille, cut in quarters lenghtwise, then into little... read more >

Tagliolini con Gamberi e Zucchini : page 13

Nice, easy pasta dish. I made a half recipe using frozen cooked shrimp.

Tagliolini looks to be "round" tagliatelle, whatever that might mean. I used my fettuccine cutter and rolled to 5, so they were thickish noodles. A nice chewy shape to go with the zuke and shrimpers.

Simply flavored with an interested combination of minced garlic and ginger.

Would be fast if you used store-bought pasta.

White Fish Fillets with Ceps : page 83

Very nice, easy, tasty, and attractive way to prepare fish. No cĂȘpes in the store, so I used shiitakes instead. Fish was hake (merlu).

The cooking time might be a bit long. I think I'd start looking around 10min (of 20min) to see if the fish is done. (I looked early because I absent-mindedly turned off the wrong oven which I took a cake out of the other; not sure of timing, but the fish was perfect at that point. Think there was more than 5min on the timer.

Not good for a strong-tasting fish like salmon or tuna, but perfect for milder fish. Nice presentation.
